PRP has been studied to provide:
Each of these has its own treatment protocols. Following these protocols, research has found increased skin collagen production, increased skin elasticity, decreased wrinkle severity, improved skin texture, decreased skin redness and hyperpigmentation, and increased hair growth with increased hair shaft caliber (hair thickness). Improvements are noticeable as early as 3 months after the first treatment.
PRP is derived from your own blood drawn at the time of the procedure. Since PRP is made from your own blood, it is insulated against the risk of disease transmission.
Once the PRP is isolated, it is mixed with a specialized activator to maximize the effect of your natural growth factors. It is encouraged that patients undergo PRP injections in combination with microneedling and topical PRP application as this optimizes the effect of the PRP.
